The Daily Beeet

If you're like the majority of the population, you made a resolution to eat better this year. An easy way to do this is to add more vegetables to your diet! In attempt to eat more vegetables without just making a salad, (because who wants a salad when its 30 degrees outside?) I started making this recipe for fried "rice"!

Quinoa Fried "Rice"

This recipe is gluten free, full of veggies and protein packed! You can even bump up the protein with a little chicken breast or shrimp if you desire.

Ingredients

2 tablespoons olive oil, divided

2 large eggs, beaten

2 cloves garlic, minced

1 small onion, diced

8 ounces mushrooms, sliced

1 head broccoli, cut into florets

1 zucchini, chopped

1/2 cup frozen corn

1/2 cup frozen peas

2 carrots, peeled and grated

3 cups cooked quinoa

1 tablespoon grated fresh ginger

3 tablespoons soy sauce (or liquid aminos, if gluten free)

2 green onions, sliced

Sriracha, for serving

Instructions

Heat 1 tablespoon olive oil in a medium skillet over low heat. Add eggs and fry until cooked through, about 2-3 minutes per side, flipping only once. Let cool before dicing into small pieces.

Heat remaining 1 tablespoon olive oil in a large skillet or wok over medium high heat. Add garlic and onion, and cook, stirring often, until onions have become translucent, about 4-5 minutes.
